Last March, police led Peter Penashue away in handcuffs for smashing car windows. He was charged with mischief over $5,000. On Thursday, in provincial court in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, the Crown withdrew the charges. Penashue spoke passionately about how desperation and anger fueled his actions, saying his family and others can’t escape the drugs in Sheshatshiu. The CBC’s Regan Burden reports.
